It’s a map with routing information, live traffic, road work etc. Offline maps available if needed but obviously no live traffic reporting then. Based on OpenStreetMap.

    This is better for driving while Organic Maps is open source, more private and better for walking, hiking and cycling.

        Magic Earth is proprietary software, so regardless of what their privacy policy says, you cannot audit the code to verify whether or not they are collecting data and what data they collect.

        Organic Maps, on the other hand, is libre software, so you can audit the code and verify what it is and isn’t doing.

        Magic Earth collects data on location while Organic Maps does not collect any.

        I’m not so familiar with Mlymn (old lemmy ui)

          Doesn’t collect anything in offline mode, does it?

          Either way, both are awesome in their own right. ME for car navigation, OM for everything else.

          And then StreetComplete to help them both. :-)
